Ann Francis Blackwell-Roch passed from this life on Jan. 26, 2016 at the age of 72. After more than a nine year struggle with cancer, she came home, closed her eyes for the last time on this earth to open them in glorious greetings from our Lord and Savior.

The surviving children remember her as the most loving mother. We are all very grateful to have had her. She spent her life as a nurse, always helping others, sacrificing for others as she did her children and anyone she came into contact with.
